Timeline

Origin and history

The houses located on Rue Pernelle in La Rochelle constitute a notable architectural ensemble, one of which, an arcade, was inscribed as a Historical Monument by ministerial decree. This official protection, dated September 29, 1928, underscores the heritage importance of this architectural detail in the city's urban fabric. The precise location, at 4 rue Pernelle, is referenced in the Merimée base, with a geographical accuracy considered "a priori satisfactory" according to the available evaluation criteria.

La Rochelle, a major port town in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region (formerly Poitou-Charentes), has a rich built heritage reflecting its commercial and maritime history. The houses on Rue Pernelle are part of this urban context, where traditional civil architecture stands alongside buildings with a commercial or residential vocation. Although the sources do not specify the exact time of their construction, their inscription as Historical Monuments bears witness to their historical and aesthetic value to the municipality.

Their situation in the city centre, near the code Insee 17300, strengthens their anchor in the local identity.
